Is a lighter effective because it’s on fire? Or just because it’s hot?

If you made a lighter that was just as hot as another lighter, would it work just as well even if it had no fire?

    You don’t have to light a cigarette with a lighter. What’s truly dumb is forgetting how useful fire is…

      Yeah, fire is super handy for all sorts of things while I’m driving a car.

        Ah yes, why have the ability to do anything you don’t immediately need to do?! I am a smart person!
